The wash room looks like from an old building, needs upgrading. Supposed to be a deluxe room but looked very basic. Tea, coffee , kettle facilities provided with the good television programs and free wifi. No complaints as such but the price we paid was for deluxe room but was given a standard is my assumption.

Good location but the hotel was bit less than average”

Provided face towels instead of bath towels. We requested for bigger towels few times but were unable to provide. The next day when we checked out, receptionist came and told that two towels are missing!!! We requested him as well as the duty manager to check on our luggages which they refuse too and apologized later for the same act. It was a horrible moment that they claimed something that was never provided and refused the offer to check on luggages. Awful and very unpleasant experience!
